From Target to the Style Channel With A Little Couture On The Side

If you haven't checked out the Isaac show on The Style Channel, you really should. Isaac Mizrahi had another show once before, but this is a daily show that is sure to bring more viewers to the channel. Isaac is a joy to watch, precisely because he does not try to be stiff and perfect like other hosts, but instead embraces his own sweet and quirky charm. His show is about a lack of pretense and loads of honest thoughts and feelings and it is great fun to watch. On a recent episode he shared that he overheard his mother inferring that he had blown up and that is why he was wearing a black suit and going on a diet. Truthfully, Isaac doesn't seem the least bit fat, but what other host do you know that would share those inner neurotic and insecure thoughts that most of us have (myself included). It is specifically because of this approach that he tends to bring out a more real side of his guests and that is also entertaining. In addition to the show, Isaac is still doing his line for Target and a bit of couture as well. I wish the big networks could understand that this type of show is more engaging and interesting to watch that some blah talk show where every guest is pre-interviewed and tells the same anecdotes again and again, but doesn't really share anything real about themselves. There are only a handful of hosts that are good at this sort of show: Charlie Rose , Craig Ferguson and Jon Stewart, but now Isaac can add himself to the list.
